    Not saying that I know for sure, but it LOOKS like 1-9 or 10 bundles get zilch, 10 or 11-19 get the 30%/$60 free and the 20+ bundlers get the largest 50%/$100. That's my two cents anyway ;)

    it all worked for me testing but the Australian dollar is so poor I am going to have to go without as my nice price of $48 with all the freebies was 79AUD so I had to cancel and empty my cart crying

    I think my DAZ buying days are nearing the end

    I did grab the Biker hairs

    I share your pain.

    I'm  a bit late to the party (gotta sleep sometime).  Thanks Daz Steve, etc. for resolving the cart issue!  The 'free stuff' thing seems to be working now.

    yeah..that looks to be it. I'm out of the game but I do like his texture and might pick the base up ... I tihnk that's my new plan and just forgetting bundles, especially now that they call me and many others not loyal enough and out of the discounts. I just passed up quite a few base figures a bit ago on the sales, but wont any longer. The textures alone are worth the sales price for sure.

    I'm still not getting the $100 free additional content. I purchased the Christian8 Pro Bundle early when the purple banner said "OR". 

    Same here, and I just noticed the banner has been updated for me, it now says the free content has to be in the basket at the same time as the Christian pro bundle, so I guess the first offer will not be honoured.

    Please open a Sales Support ticket, if you haven't already https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us

    I've already put in a Sales Support ticket. I haven't heard back. Would you recommend that I go ahead and purchase the $100 worth of stuff and then put in another support ticket for a refund?

    I’m still on the fence...my 5 bundles (all males) got me no loyalty discount...would it have been asking too much to give the “less loyal” an extra 5 or 10% off instead of a discount on add-ons which require more spending to take advantage of.

    Sorry, I’m not sure my loyalty stretches that far :(

    If you are able to do so that may be simplest.

    I'm happy to see a new male character and clothing. I almost bought the coveralls, but the collar ruined it for me. It doesn't look realistic at all.

    They updated the sale page. For those who didn't get a banner they still are giving a extra 20% discount on the *add-ons* as well as $30 in free items for those who buy the pro bundle.

    *Edited to fix a mistake.

    Actually the sale page says an extra 20% off Christian add-ons...not off the bundle itself...hence why I have still not purchased the bundle.

    You're right, I read it wrong. Looks like I need some coffee. lol The extra discount is for the add-ons. And an additional $30 in free items with the pro bundle purchase. It's a much better deal than previously was up on the sales page, so I think that is helpful and more inclusive of an offer for those who may not qualify for the higher discount but still want a better incentive to pull the trigger on getting the Christian bundle. :)

    But the add-on discount requires even more spending...not much of an incentive to me, having to spend even more than the $66+ for the bundle itself.

    If Daz would have offered an additional 10% off the bundle itself I would have already purchased it.

    I LOVE that he comes with fibermesh brows! 

    I used Altern8 on his skin and cranked his Bump and Normal maps way up, so forgive the extra "cracks", he's not that wrinkled "out of the box". I just wanted to see how far I could push his age.

    Looks really good. Not particularly handsome, but then that was never a prerequisite for me buying a character. LOL. He just has to be "different". He's a lot like Edward, but I love Edward and I'm sure I'll like Christian too. I like most of the clothes in the bundle for a change and the skin looks great. Not crazy about the biker outfit, but I kinda like the pants. I can kitbash. LOL.

    Another one with Altern8.

    I haven't gotten the pro bundle yet, as I'm still working on what all I want to add to my cart before I check out, but am looking forward to checking out the characters, hair, and clothing it comes with. :)

    Yeah, I agree that he's not particularly handsome (at least IMO, but I know that kind of thing is highly subjective), but I do like him. :) And one doesn't always need "model guy" for renders - sometimes you just need "boss man" or "neighbour next door guy" and want him to look more down to earth and realistic. :)

    I like most of the stuff in the pro bundle - and was happy to see that the Biker Hair comes with the option to have the bandana off. I'm looking forward to checking out and rendering the goodies that the pro bundle comes with. I just need to make my final selections on what "freebies" I want before I check out. :)

    is that with basic texture or HD added? It looks great.

    Everything worked for me and I was happy with the purple banner offer. I love the biker stuff. And I think Hudson for Christian is probably the hottest male on the site! No complaints from me this time laugh

    I like a lot of the clothing. Not sure though about the bIker bandanna. Thought at first it was a knit cap. I think it should be higher.

    It's the basic texture (I don't have the HD), but the Bump map and Normal map settings in the Surfaces Tab have been increased.

    He has a sort of "Fred Gwynn" profile, doesn't he?

    I love what you've done to his materials. The combination of middle-aged skin and deep wrinkles makes him look like he's worked outdoors most of his life. 
    yes

    Its the one thing I really don't like in the bundle, it shouldn't cover the ears.  We do a lot of biking and have alot of biker pals, never seen any of them wear a bandana over their ears. maybe it has morphs to adjust it ?

    Since Edward and Christian have such a strong resemblance, anyone who has Edward and purchased Hudson could you post  a render of Hudson with Edward dialed in ... maybe he would be a good substitute for Christian?

    I have 8 bundles, and qualified for the 30%/$60 deal. If 8 is the minimum, it does seem quite a high requirement.

  • jakibluejakiblue Posts: 7,281

    Hmm. I have 8 pro bundles also, but I didn't qualify for any discount.

    Counting Christian I now have 22 - which gave me extra 40% off plus $80 freebies
